I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Ross Stores (Las Vegas, NV)
Interview
Interview went well and I was offered a position (I applied for pt/ft daytime cashier but was interviewed for temp nighttime stock) My interviewer (name is Mele) told me the job was contigent on my back ground check and to call her if I didn't hear back within a week. After a week had passed I called her to see what was up. She then informed me that an email was sent, and in order to proceed with my background check I had to first accept the job through the email...I told her I check my email multiple times per day, including the spam folder. She asked for my phone number and said she would call me back with more info. That was a week ago.
So, not only did I authorize a background check to be done on my application and at the conclusion of my interview, apparently I also had to consent to an email that was never sent.
I don't care if they found someone more qualified, or if the position has since been filled; I do care that my time was wasted and disapprove of their lack of professionalism. I am still waiting for a call back regarding this email that still has not been sent.
It is unfortunate for them considering I am an army veteran and businesses are given incentives for hiring vets. After this experience, I will be moving on to better things, happily.
Basic interview, they aren't super competitive when selecting employees. Just seem eager to work in a team setting and try not to toot your own horn too much and they'll hire you.
They did a group interview where you had to answer questions on customer service and experiences. The interview was simple and wasn’t long, they would call you after a few days to let you know if you got the job.
